Prevent date navigation in Angular Schedule component

11 Jul 20242 minutes to read

We can prevent navigation while clicking on the date header by simply removing e-navigate class from header cells which can be achieved in the renderCell event as shown in the below demo.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ScheduleModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule'
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'
import { DayService, WeekService, WorkWeekService, MonthService, AgendaService, MonthAgendaService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { EventSettingsModel, RenderCellEventArgs, View } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule';
import { removeClass } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { scheduleData } from './datasource';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        ScheduleModule,
        ButtonModule
    ],

providers: [DayService, 
                WeekService, 
                WorkWeekService, 
                MonthService,
                AgendaService,
                MonthAgendaService],
standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  // specifies the template string for the Schedule component
  template: `<ejs-schedule width='100%' height='550px' [selectedDate]="selectedDate" [eventSettings]="eventSettings" (renderCell)="onRenderCell($event)"  [(currentView)]="currentView" > <e-views> <e-view option="Week"></e-view> <e-view option="WorkWeek"></e-view> <e-view option="Month"></e-view> <e-view option="Day"></e-view> </e-views> </ejs-schedule>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    public selectedDate: Date = new Date(2018, 1, 15);
    public eventSettings: EventSettingsModel = { dataSource: scheduleData };
    public currentView: View = 'WorkWeek';
    onRenderCell(args: RenderCellEventArgs): void {
        if(args.elementType === "dateHeader") {
            removeClass(args.element.childNodes, "e-navigate");
        }
    }
}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
